Description
The History of Human Marriage V1 is a comprehensive study of the institution of marriage throughout human history, written by Edward Westermarck. The book explores various aspects of marriage, including its origins, evolution, and cultural significance across different societies and time periods. The first volume of the book covers the early stages of human marriage, starting from primitive societies and moving through ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome. Westermarck analyzes the customs and traditions surrounding marriage in these societies, including the role of religion, family structure, and gender roles. The book also delves into the social and economic factors that have influenced the development of marriage, such as the rise of agriculture and the emergence of property ownership. Westermarck examines how these factors have shaped the institution of marriage and influenced its evolution over time. Throughout the book, Westermarck draws on a wide range of historical and anthropological sources to provide a detailed and nuanced account of human marriage. His analysis is grounded in a deep understanding of human nature and the ways in which cultural practices reflect our fundamental desires and needs. Overall, The History of Human Marriage V1 is a fascinating and informative study of one of the most fundamental institutions in human society. It provides a rich and detailed picture of how marriage has evolved over time and across different cultures, and offers valuable insights into the social, economic, and cultural forces that have shaped this institution.1922.
